Organized by multidisciplinary artist, curator, and scholar, Veronica Shimanovskaya, Living Room-NYC is pleased to host a tribute to art and technology, early film, and contemporary video art.  Moving Silently is a festival of ideas.

How does technology assist in giving birth to new art forms? What is the connection between historical and contemporary moving images? Can video cameras, being as widely accessible as crayons, be the most democratic tool of art production of our time?

These questions were posed in an international call for artists with a few other conditions that determined the format of the show: a series of black and white silent video art shorts, with no limitation in theme or topic. 26 artists from around the world have been selected for the show. In the tradition of early film, live music is part of the show. These short films will be accompanied by composer Thomas Hodges.
